Product OverviewBirdDog Studio can accept industry-standard HD-SDI or consumer grade HDMI inputs making it universally compatible with video equipment presented to a production.

Configurable Displays allow either the director or cameraman to quickly and easily identify the camera or on-screen talent to be aware of which camera is currently live to air via the bright multi-colour LED display.

BirdDog Studio enables your existing cameras to be included into a new IP workflow for your live productions. Once you convert your HDMI or SDI signal to IP the possibilities of live productions are magnified. Any network connection becomes a live video input into your switcher.
